Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Rolled oats
- 100 grams Mixed muesli (with nuts and dried fruit)
- 200 grams Dates (pitted and chopped finely)
- 125 grams Unsalted butter
- 75 grams Honey
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 50 grams Plain flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 20cm x 20cm (8-inch square) baking tin with parchment paper and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, mixed muesli, plain flour, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the honey, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the butter mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly to coat the oats and muesli evenly.
Add the chopped dates to the mixture and fold them in evenly.
In a separate small bowl, crack the egg and whisk it lightly. Add the whisked egg to the muesli mixture and ensure it is fully incorporated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking tin and press it down firmly and evenly using the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the tin from the oven and allow the slice to cool completely in the tin before transferring it to a cutting board.
Using a sharp knife, cut the slice into 12 equal pieces. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
